DiffieHellmanKeyExchange is an [Algorithm] to bootstrap from authentication to cryptography. It is dynamic so it cannot be used to send [Email] or other asynchronous communications (unless many [Email]s are sent in each direction prior to the first payload). The negotiation can be in the clear, but it __must__ be signed to prevent ManInTheMiddle attacks. The [SSL] protocol uses DiffieHellmanKeyExchange to move from authentication provided by keys to a shared secret, a session key which can be used in ConventionalCryptography. ---- CategoryCryptography, CategoryAlgorithm
